TGOC23 is now open for entries. Around 80 have already applied - newcomers and regulars. Glad wild wet and windy TGOC22 hasn’t put off too many!
Just two days left to apply for TGOC22. Go to tgochallenge.co.uk/enter if you and your tent fancy a wander across Scotland.

In 1985 we took part in @TGOMagazine @TGOChallenge across #Scotland This year we revisited some of the places we walked through 35 years ago in our #campervan & had an explosion of memories @camping_holiday backontheroadagainblog.com/2…

Alan Hardy suggested a toast to the coordinators last night - we’re overwhelmed by the response. Thank- you to everyone. Here is our toast to all Challengers and volunteers!
Day 12 - final day for entries to the #virtualTGOC photo comp - beginnings and endings - so starts and finishes , sunrises/sunsets. Entries will close at 9 am tomorrow.
We thought this is worth sharing. Our oldest ever Challenger talking to David Brown, from Baltimore on his 20th and final Challenge at the tender age of 91! He crossed successfully camping every night but admitted to “going soft” as he used 2 campsites!

Day9 #virtualTGOC - still so many posts on FB go we can’t keep up! Many will be virtually heading for Braemar so we’re hoping for some peace & quiet at virtual Challenge Control whilst they are occupied in the bar . . .
Today’s photo comp is bothies &?buildings, ruins & wrecks
Ardbeg was very much required by former @TGOChallenge coordinator @outdoorsmanning but if anyone is asking we’re Aberlour girls . . .

Half way thru #virtualTGO so far on FB gp 600 posts 2500+ comments and 3700+ photos, 0 abusive posts and 0 lockdown breaches. Think Challengers can be proud of that!
So photo comp theme today is - people as that’s what makes the @TGOChallenge!
ThanksGrahamG and StefanL for pics.
